* [[Enlistment-Ending Minor Malaise]]: He mentioned in ''On Writing'' that he considered enlisting for the Vietnam War in the hopes it would inspire a book; his mother made him go to college instead because she didn't want him returning in a coffin. The biography ''Haunted Heart'' reveals that he wasn't qualified anyway due to punctured eardrums from a procedure meant to cure his ear infections as a child.

* [[A Fete Worse Than Death]]
* [[Finger-Twitching Revival]]: Carrie's hand jutting out of the ground in the film.
